Heddal Stave Church

Heddal Stave Church (Heddal Stavkirke) is the largest and grandest stave church in all of Norway — a true masterpiece of medieval wooden architecture. Built in the early 13th century, Heddal Stave Church is a towering, mystical structure made entirely of timber, with its dark silhouette rising like a ship of the forest. Rich in Christian symbolism and Viking artistry, it stands as a testament to Norway’s unique fusion of pagan roots and Christian faith.
